Poems by Raelene J. Elliss

A child lay tenderly
For the Lord to bless and keep
His face to shine upon you
A prayer for when you sleep

May He be gracious to you
And His face to turn towards
A promise upheld in heaven
His child finds rewards

From all burdens be so free
His love shall never cease
Rest child, in His arms
May the Lord give you peace

Amen

Raise me up in your joy
When my heart fears
Take my hand father
Wipe away my tears

You are with me always
In the night my heart be still
My prayer lord Jesus
The Holy spirit fill

I'm your stumbling child
My faith needs your hand
Leading me towards thee
Across the soft  cool sand

Your breath is the sea breeze
Gently blowing to cool my face
Your light sparkling across the ocean
I long to take my place

Lift me up lord Jesus
Walk this road with me
Heavenly Father I'm your child
I long to be with thee

You're not here
For me to see
My heart longs for
The day to be

In your arms
Nothing harms
No tears fall
Your voice will call

Sun setting skies
Seagulls cries
You take my hand
In the soft cool sand

Always with me
My heart can see
The voice in my heart
Says you're with me

To Him be the glory
To the alter, His call
His arms are open wide
It's open to all

Bow down before Him
He is the Lord of all
He is risen
Listen to His call

Hallelujah sing the angles
The resurrection of the Lamb
Fulfilling the greatest promise
He is the great I Am

His arms are wide open
His precious blood spilled
Let all the sinners'
Hearts be glory filled

Greatest treasures for us all
In heaven's high place
Cry and dance, dear ones
And seek His precious face

He lay in a manger
She gazed into his face
A mothers love abounds in her heart
The infant will take his place

To a son she had given birth
In a filthy cattle shed
Swaddling cloth wrapped him
So the wise men said

Worshiped was this little one
The precious lamb was born
He'd be destined to serve mankind
Beyond the veil torn

The stone hearted would despise
The lion and the lamb
They would be in denial
He is the great I Am

From the womb he was nursed
In a borrowed tomb he lay
His farther led his ministry
He wept, he loved , each day

Go beyond the heartfelt grief
Of our saviour on the cross
His beaten bloodied body
The crucifixion is not a loss

The heavenly angles sing hallelujah
Arisen is our sovereign King
In a borrowed tomb
The lamb gave us everything
